Werewolves Within was filmed in Phoenicia and Fleischmanns in 2020. This mystery comedy horror film is a mad “whodunnit” set against the familiar backdrop of the streets of Phoenicia and the sprawling halls of Spillian, a local event venue built in the 1880’s. Phoenicia Diner hosts this event with a themed werewolf dinner and drink offering, and the screening is supported by members of its cast and crew for a post-film Q and A.. They’re also joined by Stockade Works’ Executive Director, Susie Sofranko, to speak on filming in the Hudson Valley. Seating is limited.
